    This kind of thing always makes me suspect that somebody discovered an infinite gold bug, honestly.
    No, there are just a growing number of people with extremely large gold reserves.

    I wouldn't be surprised if there are people with more gold than some cities.

    Surely not anymore? I know there are more Dragons, but with the cap in place people can't be getting up to the same level of reserves as previously?

    I have zero doubt that there are several people who have more gold than at least half of Achaea's city-states.
    Huh. Neat.

    I promise you hunting isn't where the gold came from, well, at least how it got into the top 1%'s hands. Not that I'm trying to insult anyone, just that i guarantee they have many avenues, and are very good at making use of those avenues.
  • Also the gold cap is a relatively new addition.

    Due to the high price of credits, I'm sat on a lot of gold. I refuse to pay over 10k for credits, so I wait until I see credits below the maximum level I'm willing to pay, then grab them. I haven't changed any of my habits, I don't think I've hit the gold cap more than once since it came in, but my gold in is much higher than my gold out because of the credit market.

  • There was only about 150 credits up for sale when I logged off last night. I have half the gold I did 3 months ago because I've been slowly buying credits, but there just isn't enough of them being put on the market.

    From memory, didn't you mention a couple of weeks back that you had something like 20 million just sitting in banks?

    I don't have near that right now, but I have a couple of loans out to people.

  • I did, yeah. Down to 14-15 now but I have a lot in comms too.

    Would love to be able to buy credits at reasonable prices. Getting them at 9-9.5k should not feel like a good thing. 

  • KlendathuKlendathu Eye of the Storm
    I understand what you're saying, however...

    If no-one bought credits over a certain limit, the price would not go above that limit. The reason the credit prices keep increasing is people keep buying them at the higher prices. I'm just refusing to pay over what I consider to be a reasonable price for credits, but will buy them when I see them below that limit.

    Right, except that the market is driven by individuals with deep pockets for whom higher prices are not an obstacle, self-evident from prices being as high as they are. If there ever is a "limit", it's not going to be a limit that the average or even wealthy Achaean thinks is unreasonable, it's going to be what the ultra-wealthy think is unreasonable. Thus, the result is exactly what Nazihk said in few words, and what I said with more words in the last gold sink thread.

    The credit market is a feature used almost exclusively by upper-class Achaeans, which makes it the equivalent of an Achaean first-world problem. Actual Newbies and low-income Achaeans aren't really affected, they just buy them from House/City, or go straight for lesson packages and Elite memberships.
    -- Grounded in but one perspective, what we perceive is an exaggeration of the truth.

  • Only a few really good gold auctions can save the credit market now. 
  • If the credit market is exclusive for the rich and famous of Achaea then how about selling lessons for gold?

    Is $120 a reasonable price for a steak because the people buying $120 steaks are willing to pay $120 for them? No.

    #ApplesToOranges
    Huh. Neat.
  • JonathinJonathin Retired in a hole.
    As has been stated several times before, that would affect IRE's bottom line.

    Also, quotes thread. Go to gold sinks with that.

    I am retired and log into the forums maybe once every 2 months. It was a good 20 years, live your best lives, friends.

    Actually a $120 steak is worth it.  YOLO
